Looking Down From A Very Tall Branch

This is today's photo prompt from Pictures, Poetry & Prose.

And, what I came up with in one minute.




Stepping forward

No slack

Scratch the tree

and your back.

Hovering about

The tree people

Laugh

Cry

Whisper

And sigh.

Can we withstand

The pressure

To devour

Our teachers?

Holistic in strength

Patient in length

And in nature

There to the end.
